When he saw how carefully, daintily even the teacher next to him went at her food, Victor felt a little embarassed and set his own fork down, stopping his eating and avoiding a good bit of the poison by sheer coincidence alone, unbeknownst to him. He was raised well, and should really know better than to eat without care, he realised as he stopped his eating for now and turned his attention towards her. "My name's Victor. Odd name for me, one would think, I know." Giving her a polite smile, he turned his attention towards the crowd of people - the ones that caused a fuss. He never really liked great crowds of people either, but he was alright watching the drunkards and the more obvious students from afar... studying them, imagining what it would be like being confronted by them and what he would do. After a little while, he realised he didn't get a response to his last sentence. Looking back at the elf, one of his eyebrows was raised when he saw her dozing off in a way. "...are you quite alright, miss?"
